Gretchen shot to fame in Brazil in the early eighties with a string of hits including "Freak Le Boom Boom", "Melô do Piripipi" and "Conga Conga Conga" that became hugely popular in both the mainstream and dance scene, eventually going on to sell 15M+ albums worldwide. Notoriously known for her provocative lyrics and outspoken behavior, Gretchen is Latin America's 'queen of internet memes.'

Rainha!
